[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

"Huh? Is Jia Zi Wei Restaurant going to launch some new dishes again? What?! Closure announcement!"

"Boss, are you going to close for a while?" the customer asked, pulling Chao Ke aside.

"Yes, that's right. But when we reopen, we'll have new dishes to offer, so please continue to support us," Chao Ke replied politely to the customer.

"Is that so... then I'll have to eat more today to make up for the amount I ate in the next two days."

Although the diners were still somewhat disappointed, they accepted the outcome.

Although Jiaziwei Restaurant has only been open for a few days, it has already formed its first group of loyal customers.

It is worth mentioning that among these loyal customers, the proportion of Tiaozi is exceptionally high.

Thanks to the rotating surveillance policy implemented by high-ranking police officers, different cops come to stake out the restaurant every day.

But you have to eat something while you're on stakeout, right?

If something tastes good, you should bring some back for your family and colleagues to try, right?

The burgers produced by Jiaziwei are not only delicious and easy to carry, but also very filling.

What's even more ingenious is that you can eat a hamburger with just one hand.

This allows officers to take care of the important matter of eating, even while on duty.

As a result, the dishes at Jia Zi Wei Restaurant became extremely popular among the Fontainebleau police force.

Many police officers who come to the restaurant for duty often buy a large bag of food for their colleagues when they leave.

In short, this order from the Fontainebleau police leadership not only cultivated a stable initial customer base for the Jia Zi Wei restaurant, but the patrolling police units also provided the restaurant with free advertising within the Fontainebleau area...

Perhaps because the store closure notice had been spread, there were unusually many customers during the lunch rush today.

A food stall next to the Bufati Mansion.

Seeing the packed restaurants on the same street, with queues even stretching outside, while his own little shop was deserted, owner Louis was extremely distressed.

Especially when the line outside the Jiaziwei Restaurant grew longer and longer, stretching all the way to his own snack stall, Louis's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

"That's really unfair..."

However, just as Louis was on the verge of collapse, a father and daughter in the queue delivered the final blow.

"Vivian, look, there are so many people in line. By the time we get there, it will be past lunchtime. How about we just grab something to eat at this food stall?"

"Hmm... okay, Dad. But you have to take me to Jia Zi Wei Restaurant again later, a lot of my classmates have eaten here."

The man patted his daughter's head. "Of course, no problem, Vivian. We'll just grab a bite here with this uncle for now, and when Jia Zi Wei Restaurant reopens, Daddy will take you to queue up earlier."

"Okay, Dad!"

At this moment, Louis, who was leaning on the counter, was struck dumb. He could only manage to eat a bite.

When has my most prized fish and chips ever been described like that? It's the most delicious thing in the world, you bastards!

The girl tugged at her father's hand and said, "Dad, how about we eat at another restaurant? I feel like this uncle is acting strangely."

“Okay, Vivian, let’s go look at other places.”

Louis felt as if his heart had been struck hard, and he almost fainted as his vision went black.

Chapter 37 Arecino: Come here, let me have some fun.

After seeing off the last customer, Jiaziwei Restaurant began its two-and-a-half-day closure.

Outside the restaurant, Ashley and Butler walked side by side, discussing matters related to moving.

Louise, carrying snacks she had specially made for the children, headed towards the mansion.

Standing on the street, Chao Ke stroked his chin, mentally planning his arrangements for the next few days.

The primary task is to first establish the prototype of the central kitchen.

If time permits, it would be best to hire a few more kitchen helpers to build up talent reserves for future branch expansion.

Regarding the rental of the central kitchen space, Chao Ke did not seek Catherine's help from the Adventurers' Guild.

Instead, they found a reputable agency in Fontainebleau to act as a go-between, in order to reduce the connection between Jia Zi Wei Restaurant and the Fools.

Although this agency charges a high fee, its service is quite reliable. Based on Chao Ke's needs, they provided a suitable solution: the second floor of the Damovi Department Store.

The owner originally intended to use the space as a warehouse, but upon closer inspection, he realized he didn't need such a large area, so he cleared out the second floor and put it up for rent.

However, because it is on the second floor, it is difficult to attract customers for business, and in order to maintain the overall style of the building, only small-scale renovations can be carried out.

Therefore, despite the owner Buschko's low asking price, he has been unable to find a tenant.

However, this location is not a problem for Chao Ke to set up a central kitchen. Being undisturbed by crowds is not a disadvantage, but rather an advantage.

Unfortunately, the owner, Buschko, had no intention of selling the property, so Chaoke could only sign a long-term lease.

Led by the real estate agent, Chao Ke had a thorough discussion with Busiko, the owner of Damovi Department Store.

Ultimately, the two agreed on a 20-year lease.

The discounted annual rent is nine million Mora, and Chao Ke will also need to pay an additional six million Mora as a brokerage fee for the transaction.

As Chao Ke readily signed the transaction contract, he could clearly sense that the real estate agent's gaze towards him had become increasingly gentle.

Afterwards, Chao Ke returned to the intermediary company, and the next step was for the intermediary company to take the transaction contract to the relevant department of Mo Mang Palace for stamping.

Perhaps because the brokerage fee for this transaction was relatively high, the process was handled exceptionally quickly. Chao Ke only waited for a little over an hour before receiving the transaction contract stamped and approved by Mo Mang Palace from the broker.

After leaving the agency, Chao Ke smiled as she looked at the small pink card with the address that had appeared in her pocket.

He then used his fire elemental powers to burn the card to ashes.

Chao Ke has always kept his distance from these chance encounters, believing that focusing his limited energy on entanglements is the right approach.

My older sister, Arecino, is so alluring, how could I not pester her a few more times and bring her home...?

Chao Ke took the stamped transaction contract to the shop owner, Busi Ke.

With Buschko's cooperation, the two completed the handover of the second floor of the Damovi department store.

Looking at the empty second floor, Chao Ke was quite satisfied. As the central kitchen of Jiaziwei Restaurant, it seemed sufficient for the time being.

Actually, there is another shop near the waterway hub in this district that also meets Chao Ke's needs, and it is in a better location and the cost of acquiring it is lower.

That is, the perfume shop that belongs to the Gabrielle Chamber of Commerce.

Chao Ke believed that as long as he "chatted" with Marcel, the president of the Brie Chamber of Commerce, he could acquire ownership of the shop from him at a very low cost.

But after thinking it over, Chao Ke did not do so.

To put it bluntly, he still didn't trust Vasher. This move was tantamount to revealing his own identity and handing Marcel a handle against him.

If Washere were to suddenly decide to go all out and secretly add ingredients to the central kitchen's raw materials, that would be a real disaster.

Whether it's the addictive hallucinations caused by trace amounts of virgin fetal water or the dissolution of Fontainebleau people caused by high concentrations of fetal water.

That could really give Chao Ke a run for his money. At that point, even his older sister might not be able to protect him.

So it's okay to spend a little money on this kind of thing! Spend a little! Even renting won't cost much!

【Ding! 】

[A store with host ownership has been detected; the restaurant decoration generation package is available.]

[Does the host wish to use this?]

【whether】

Chao Ke chose the "No" option.

The central kitchen doesn't need to be open to the public; even if it's well-decorated, it's a waste. You just need to buy the kitchen utensils in the [Kitchenware Supply Area] of the system's shop interface.

Since the central kitchen is not responsible for frying and serving, the overall kitchen equipment is cheaper than that in the store, costing a total of 12 million Mora.

After the purchased equipment was visualized, another system prompt popped up.

【Ding! 】

[A new restaurant has been detected belonging to the host. The restaurant interface has been updated!]

Number of restaurants owned: 2

[Details:]

【(One branch) Jia Zi Wei Restaurant】

Address: Vasari Gallery, Fontainebleau

[Kitchen Helper: Louise (1/1)]

------

[(Second branch) Restaurant (Unnamed)]

【World-weary novel transfer station 99 2 85 9 3 87 】

Address: Waterway Hub, Ting-gu

Kitchen helper: None available.

It seems that after the central kitchen's location and equipment were resolved, the system recognized the restaurant.

The only remaining issue is recruiting kitchen helpers.

Hiring a chef wouldn't be difficult. After all, the equipment produced by the system is of excellent performance and has a certain degree of intelligence, so the chef's skills don't need to be particularly outstanding.

The problem is that the kitchen helpers recognized by the system are required to be loyal to Chao Ke, which makes things more difficult.

You can't expect employees to be loyal to you just because you give them the wages they deserve.

No way, could any boss really think like that? How shameless!

With time running out, Chao Ke didn't have time to build trust among his employees from scratch.

There was no other way but to ask my older sister for someone to tide me over.

After all, her older sister is reliable, and her loyalty is beyond question. If Ashley and Butrei weren't bad at cooking, Chao Ke wouldn't have had to worry about finding the right person.

At the Bufati Mansion, Chao Ke gently pushed open the door to Arecino's office and tiptoed inside.

Arecino didn't look up; she knew who it was just from the sound of footsteps. She tapped the empty teacup on the table a few times with her finger.
